Summary

UN Human Development Index (HDI) for 2004, derived from 2006 UN HDI report. An HDI below 0.5 is considered to represent low development and an HDI 0.8 or more is considered to represent high development.

Figures for Taiwan and Macau (marked with asterisks) were not calculated by the UN. The categories that they are depicted as belonging to in this map are based on figures calculated by their own respective statistical agencies.

For an exact list of countries by their HDI, see the List of countries by Human Development Index
